Parking
There is plenty of parking at Cyclopark. Parking is £1 for under 4 hours and £3.60 for all day and you pay for that at a machine just inside the main building, you only need to pay at some stage before you leave. For this event as we're on the track park in the main car park.
Getting There
There aren't any general issues we're aware of so hopefully will all be straightforward. Please note that the Cyclopark main facility physically opens at 0800 and we'll be available to pick up race numbers from 0815 so please don't plan on arriving at 0700!
Aid Station
None of the usual running nonsense at Base Camp, so no isotonic drinks, fruit or energy gels, But there will be cookies, crisps, jelly babies, M&Ms, pringles, nuts and all that sort of thing, there is just going to be the one aid station on the course (and it's about a 1.74 mile loop) and we'll have water and squash to drink.
Cupless
One of our longer term goals is the reduction of waste at events and to this end we've gone cupless. Please bring a bottle / cup / mug. We'll have sharpies to mark them and trays at the aid station to store them in. We'll have jugs at the aid station for you to fill them with water and squash.
Litter
Please, please, please don't! There will be bins at base camp.
Dogs
Unfortunately due to permit conditions, and hence insurance coverage, we're no longer allowed to let runners run with dogs. Additionally Cyclopark only allow assistance dogs on site... |
